Type Gallery – Linotype Bariton

Linotype Bariton™ is part of the TakeType Library, chosen from the contestants of Linotype’s International Digital Design Contests of 1994 and 1997.
Designer Alexej Chekoulaev designed his font in one weight to mirror the Zeitgeist of the early 1930s. The characters of this extremely bold font are based on the form of a rectangle though its rounded edges soften its look a bit. Linotype Bariton should be used only in larger point sizes in headlines which should really catch the eye.
